Green Office Delft
Our current way of life is deeply unsustainable: Humanity consumes the resources of 1.8 planets. If present trends continue, we will need three planets by 2050. Creating a socially desirable and economically viable human civilization flourishing within planetary boundaries is the primary challenge of our time, the call of action for our generation. The necessary changes will not come easy or through technical fixes alone. On the contrary they require deep transformations in the way we think, live, travel, eat, vote and work.
It is the responsibility of universities as public institutions to be the engines of local, national and global sustainability transitions: Universities should educate students as sustainability change agents, create new knowledge to inform these transitions, and reduce the ecological and social footprints of
running the organisation itself. Creating more sustainable universities requires dedicated change agents.
Students are oftentimes overlooked and side-lined within a university’s sustainability efforts. This is a missed opportunity, given the energy and spirit of students, the learning opportunities that sustainability engagement presents and the sheer size of the student body as largest stakeholder group on campus. Yet for a large number of students to unleash their full potential as sustainability change agents, the institutional support, resources and legitimacy of universities and governments are required.
As a student-led and staff-supported sustainability hub, the Green Office Model presents an internationally recognized and open-source model to structurally empower students. The Green Office acts as a platform for students and staff
8 9
running sustainability initiatives, improves the communication around these initiatives, coordinates the development and implementation of the university’s sustainability strategy, and provides new impulses to create a buzz around sustainability.
At present, the role students play in the initiation, communication, and coordination of policy, management, education strategies of the Universities is under utilized. They are often overlooked and not assimilated into the planning. This has resulted in the students, that even if interested, do not utilize their power to act as an agent of change and work towards a common vision of a sustainable university. By combining the students, through empowerment by the University, and the staff to work together towards a more sustainable university, this vision of a university that is truly sustainable in every sense of the word can be realized.
A solution can be the adaptation of the Green Office Model.
The TU Delft Sustainability Community is setting up a Green Office in Delft together with Chris Hellinga, the Sustainability Coordinator of TU Delft. If all works out according to current planning, the Green Office will be launched In the fall of 2015 at the TU Delft. If you want to know more on what the Green Office Model is, how it inspired a movement, and how this model can be adopted to energize and inspire the sustainability transition of TU Delft, please get in touch with us via [email protected]!

In the Green Village we will build a Co-Creation area, engines and future labs, see our Master plan:• In the Co-Creation area you willfind a restaurant, event center and a store. This is the place to be, where you meet other people, get inspired, take part of the experiment and co-create new solutions.• The Engines produce, recover,convert, distribute and store the necessary resources such as electricity, water, heating/cooling, waste water, solid waste, hydrogen to the Green Village. These Engines consist of ‘lungs’, ‘veins’ and a ‘heart’. The lungs collect the resource, e.g. solar modules that collect solar energy. The veins are our infrastructure that distribute the resource, e.g. a smart DC electricity grid. And the heart converts, stores or processes the resource, e.g. a fuel cell that converts hydrogen into electricity. • Last but not least we will buildFuture Labs, where we do research,
‘Creating a sustainable, lively and entrepreneurial environment where we discover, learn and show how to solve society’s urgent challenges’. That is the Green Village vision. A vision we want to realize at the TU Delft campus. The Green Village will be a lively, green and visible place where scientists and students work together with entrepreneurs, innovators, professionals, artists, teachers and you to co-create innovative new products, services and solutions for a cleaner world. An area showing amazing technologies, products and systems that demonstrates how a sustainable and circular society could look like. You will become actively involved in the ongoing research and tests, could develop and make your own products or take part in co-creating new and innovative products or services.

develop, test and demonstrate really paradigm changing systems. These Future labs are ‘LED-revolution’, ‘AC-DC’ and ‘Car as Power Plant’. In our Future Lab LED revolution we develop LED lighting systems integrated in products, furniture, carpets, walls, windows and even clothes. LED will create a smart environment as LED will be used as a screen that can show you information. But LED will be also used as a sensor, for communication and data transfer. And finally we make wind turbines invisible with LED’s! A DC (Direct Current) instead of an AC (Alternating Current) smart electricity grid will distribute the electricity throughout the Green Village, in buildings and on street level. Why DC? Because all appliances work on DC, solar modules produces DC and batteries in our electric cars needs to charge on DC. So we need a paradigm change for our electricity grid, from AC to DC.
The fuel cell car will be part of the Green Village, of course as a very clean and efficient way of transportation. But when parked the fuel cell in the car can produce very efficient electricity for houses, offices and the grid. One fuel cell car has the capacity to produce all the electricity for 100 houses. These are really paradigm changing technologies and systems. But there are many more; producing your own drinking water from the rain and your fuel cell car, re-use your own plastic waste in your own 3D printer and produce fertilizer from your own urine.
Over 120 companies and organizations are already partner of the Green Village. Everyone is welcome, join us and together we develop and realize a bright future for us, our children, our grandchildren and beyond.

Racing through the outback of Australia only on the power of the sun! Being one of the D:Dream teams, the Nuon Solar Team is a student run project with high ambitions. Their final goal is to win the World Solar Challenge 2015. This year will be the eighth time the team will participate in a race of 3000 kilometres through the outback of Australia from Darwin to Adelaide. The team consists of students from different engineering studies at Delft University of Technology. Every two years a new solar car is built, called Nuna. The team has
proven to be very succesfull by winning multiple World Solar Challenges. To be the fastest in this race the team works together with companies and the TU Delft to apply the newest technologies on Nuna. The combination of high-end technology, sustainable energy and the excitement of the race illustrates the Nuon Solar Team’s vision perfectly: race to show the current possibilities with high-end technology and inspire towards a sustainable future in which durable energy is used in the most efficient way.
Besides Nuna, the TU Delft has more D:Dreamteams. These competitive student projects try to build for example electric racecars (Formula Student Team Delft), the fastest hydrogen car (Forze), the most efficient one (EcoRunner) or a motorbike running on bio-ethanol (Novabike). Find out how you can contribute to these interesting projects!

Is it time again to design for and with the local environment? By using local materials, local systems, local tradition and skills, local culture and local history, in short local resource, a group of Dutch students from TU Delft and young professionals created an inspiring project in Nicaragua.Under the project name BAMBÚ SOCIAL they designed and built a model house of bamboo in the remote city of El Rama in Nicaragua. For seven months they cut, treated and built with bamboo, together with local students and craftsmen.
And they did more: a rainwater harvesting and purification system that provides clean drinking water for its users, and two courses in ‘sustainable construction’ and
‘bamboo handicrafts’ were supported and facilitated by the local municipality and university to ensure the sharing of knowledge and expertise. All in the project-team’s philosophy of using local resources as the base for sustainable and affordable design solutions.A beautifully illustrated Spanish manual and a design for a social home provide the seeds for the continuation of the improvement of social housing in El Rama.

Not many of us repair our broken goods. We don’t know how. We even do not know whether it would be generally possible. Even if we have a clue actually what could be the cause of the problem, we often lack the right tools when we need them.BUT: There is help! A repair café is a freely accessible meeting space where people gather to fix their broken objects, openly pooling their knowledge in the company of repair specialists. Everyone can participate. You can bring something that needs repairing and try to figure out with experts if something can
be done for it. In case you have nothing to repair but are
interested into repair skills you can help out with other people’s
objects and learn new skills.Participants work on repairing everything from toasters to sweaters. Together with
the specialists they start making their repairs in the Repair Café and it’s an ongoing learning process. You wouldn’t believe what can be repaired (or not) until you tried!In Delft, the Repair Café meets on every first Saturday of the month at the Science Centre.

Delft’s Botanical Garden
The Botanical Garden of the TU Delft is a public-oriented garden as well as a research garden. Together with the university gardens of Leiden and Utrecht, the Delft Garden participates in the scientific botanical network of the Netherlands. Delft particularly specialises in applied technological education and also in technological plant research.
The initial raison d’etre for the Botanical Garden of the TU Delft was the technical-scientific research into the usefulness of plants. To this purpose plants were and are collected from all parts of the world. They are maintained and used for experimentation. Via the curator of the plant collection all knowledge gathered about the plants is organised into a scientific information system.
Initially the research was especially aimed
at improving the quality, increasing the yield, and discovering new applications of tropical products. Now the emphasis has changed, such as research into mangroves for maintaining coasts, the knowledge and development of a biological ultraviolet filter, and the method of harvesting precious plant substances without destroying the plant.
A relatively new task for the Botanical Garden has emerged from the ‘Treaty regarding Biological Diversity’, agreed 24 25
to during the UN conference of 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. This treaty was later augmented with the ‘Global Strategy for Plant Conservation’. Botanical gardens worldwide, united in the BGCI (Botanic Gardens Conservation International) require hereby of themselves and each other, together, to bring into their collections 75% of threatened plant species.
The Botanical Garden is situated on TU Campus, and has free entrance to students! A very nice place to visit and have a walk, just around the corner.

Milieudefensie Delft is the local department of the international organization Friends of the Earth international (www.foei.org). Milieudefensie wants to make Delft more environmentally friendly in a nice and playful way. Waste of food has a high priority. The key message is: do not throw out food that is past its conservation date, trust your own senses. See, smell and taste It is not just about products that are past their conservation date, but also about apples with a bad spot, a curvy cucumber or a broken package.
Since 2012, Milieudefensie Delft has organized ‘Taste the Waste’ dinners made out of products that otherwise would have been thrown out. In 2015 Taste the Waste had a pop-up restaurant, a workshop about conserving fruit and vegetables
26 27
and a cooking contest for students.Milieudefensie Delft has a broader view on ‘food’. They also initiated the ‘bee convenant’ that was signed by the municipality of Delft (amongst others) in 2014, promising to act bee-friendly. After all, bees are essential for a healthy agriculture. In 2015 Milieudefensie Delft is bringing a course in ‘humism’, focusing on soil fertility. Feel free to join!

What’s really going on?
You know that guy who keeps asking you to watch this crazy documentary that’s gonna change your life and the way you think about the world? Yeah. That’s us.
Studium Generale (SG) co-organizes over a hundred extracurricular academic activities every year. Many of them are sustainability related and devoted to broadening the mindscapes of students and staff in Delft. To get you thinking about what’s going on in areas that you never thought you’d be interested in; but mostly, to get you thinking. What’s really going on? How are you responsible? And what can you contribute? Sometimes we’ll make you angry about the way the world works, and other times we’ll inspire you with visions and possibilities to change it. We’ve had a gripping exhibition on shipbreaking pollution on
28 29
the beaches of Bangladesh; a debate on thorium reactors for ‘clean’ energy; and a lecture on making sustainable profit with your business. We’ve helped facilitate a permaculture garden for students, and sent excursions to the most sustainable construction site in the Netherlands, the Aardehuis.Take a look on our website, sign up for the newsletter, and find out what events are coming up in the near future. And if there’s nothing there that you like, then tell us what we’re missing. There’s a good chance that SG can make it happen in Delft.

goods (e. g. peerby).If something needs repairing, once a month the local repair café hosts a session at the Science Centre, for a donation you can use their tools as well as get help to repair your goods. Waste management in Delft is distributed across different competences. A general overview is provided by the municipality. While general waste is collected at the house, plastic, glass and paper is usually collected in recycling containers all across Delft, usually close to supermarkets and living complexes. A map with the collection points is provided by avalex, the waste treatment company in Delft.

With a population density of 488 people per km2, the Netherlands is the most densely populated country of the European Union. This means that people learned early to cope with the goods before they turn into waste. You can find second hand stores (kringloopwinkel) nearly everywhere. They can be very different in their set-up, from some selling household goods for a very low price to others focussing on furniture or more expensive vintage products. Most of them have their own website.Also online there is a variety of platforms where you can get used items cheaply (e. g. marktplaats) or exchange or even share

How to make a vegetarian mushroom burger
250 g mushrooms - 100 g bread crumbles- - 2 eggs - ½ onion - 3 spoons of flour - 1 spoon of fresh thyme-
butter - 4 bread rolls - 50 g lettuce - salt - black pepper - for 4 burgers
A burger without meat? Yes it is possible, and tasty! You just need to chop mushrooms in small pieces. Of course clean them first (use a brush!). Mix the mushrooms with salt, pepper, 100 g of bread crumbles, chopped union, thyme, eggs and flour; like a regular burger! Make flat burgers and cover them in bread crumbs. Now fry them for about 10 mins. Serve on a breadroll, to your liking with for example cheddar cheese, pickles and tomato. Enjoy!
Ruilkring Delft-Westland: Can you do it alone?Ruilkring Delft-Westland is the local department of LETS (local exchange and trade system).

We all want to make our life more sustainable, don’t we? Here are some easy tips!
- Tune your radiator a couple of degrees less than usual during winter and put on an extra sweater instead. Just 1 degree will help reduce your heating bill by about 8%. -Take showers over baths. A shower uses about 1/5 of the energy as taking a bath. Try to take shorter showers.- Eat less meat, or not at all. Meat production is one of the main reasons for carbon emissions globally.- Buy local if possible. Transportation burns fuel. Buy foods that are in season locally. This brings your greenhouse contribution down and usually the food tastes better too. Look up recipes with local food!
- Do you really need to print that? Do think twice, consider saving a file on your computer, in a flash drive or emailing it. And if you absolutely have to print then double-side printing is the way to go. Some printers have eco settings!- Take the stairs as often as possible. Elevators consume electricity. You, on the other hand, do not.- It might sound silly but water in Delft is perfectly safe to drink straight out
of the taps so go for refilling your bottle than purchasing new bottles every time.- Only do full loads of laundry or dishes and use the eco-cycle whenever possible.- Try and making water-efficient choices when purchasing shower heads, faucet heads, toilets, dishwashers and washing machines. Or energy efficient choices when purchasing refrigerators, laptops, dishwashers, and driers.

DelftX MOOC Circular Econ-omy: an introduction “Going circular means finding opportunities by rethinking our current take-make-waste economy.”
The take-make-waste way of doing things is coming to an end. Leading businesses from around the world, with the support of governments, are exploring how to make the circular economy happen. In this new world we will reuse, repair, remanufacture and recycle products, and in doing so create value for the benefit of everyone. And this is where you come in. If you want to understand how you can contribute to the circular economy, the EdX course CircularX Circular Economy: an introduction is for you. You will gain an
understanding of the concepts, strategies and technologies that enable a circular economy. We’ll discuss opportunities and barriers in the transition towards a more circular system, and give you many examples and case studies along the way. The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is created by the TU Delft in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Sustainability.
The course will be launched in october 2015. Register now on www.edx.org!

From this summer onwards, the roofs of the city of Delft will turn blue, thanks to the Delft Solar City project. The project is a collaboration between Municipality of Delft, the Delft University of Technology and the new energy company Qurrent. The project is aimed at installing a great deal of solar panels on roofs of the university, student housing and companies all around Delft. Why? To promote sustainability and make it easy and attractive for private individuals, but also companies to invest in solar power.Delft University of Technology will kick-start the project by installing around 10.000 m2 of solar panels on its buildings in the summer of 2015. The project is in consultation with housing corporation DUWO to also cover on-campus student
housing with solar panels. The next step is to offer these panels as an investment opportunity to employees of the Delft University of Technology. If all goes well, in the middle of next year we can have 750 panels available to interested employees. In that way, the TU Delft will put some 40,000 m2 of solar panels on campus roofs. The municipality is involved to make sure every citizen is able to enter into this project. The goal is to also put solar panels on municipal institutions and many other buildings in the city within the foreseeable future.How it works? Thanks to government subsidy schemes investing in a solar panel on someone else’s roof will result in a higher payback than putting your money in the bank. It takes little effort and is good for the environment and your wallet. You needn’t have a solar panel on
Delft Solar City

your own roof but you can just subscribe to this project and invest in a solar power nonetheless. The new energy company Qurrent is a member of the organization and supports the project with their expertise on investments in sustainable energy.It is good that Delft University of Technology and the city work together in Delft Solar City. At the Delft University of Technology there is much research on solar energy and it is important that we show each other what solar power can do. And let’s be honest, what is nicer than seeing many Delft blue roofs?

Students4Sustainability is a foundation, which was set up by TU Delft students 7 years ago. We are convinced that the knowledge from TU students can help communities in developing countries all around the world to increase their stability and livelihood, and create profit and chances for local entrepreneurship. This is what we try to achieve with the projects S4S is involved in, that have a clear philosophy founded on sustainability according to the People-Planet-Profit-principle. If a project fits into our philosophy and meets the requirements, S4S offers project financing that is fully based on our donors. Next to that we also provide the necessary contacts and stay in touch with the projects, in the Netherlands as well as abroad.
Ecolution offers all disciplines a platform to meet, share information and try and implement more integrated solutions. Supporting students to broaden their horizon is our main goal and we want you to develop and try out ideas that offer solutions to our complex problems.
By organising events such as excursions, workshops, lectures and supporting interdisciplinary projects on-campus, we want to make sustainability more graspable. With our events, we aim to highlight examples of smart solutions to questions of sustainability. Besides TU students, we also focus on and work together with students from Universiteit Leiden en Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam.

TU Delft aims to supply society with technological solutions that take us significantly further along the road towards sustainability and a flourishing economy (TU Delft vision statement). But how sustainable is TU Delft in practice?To measure status on campus sustainability we consider 8 sustainability aspects: Buildings - Water - Waste - Energy Emissions - Liveability -Community - Governance.The purpose of a monitoring system is to transparently track TU Delft campus’ progress towards a sustainable community. This project is currently looking for students to be picked up and pushed to the next level!

Aeolus is the student association of the European Wind Energy Master (EWEM), a master study coordinated between four universities in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and Norway. Aeolus was founded to help students connect with the industry and vice versa whilst also providing ways to enrich the student’s experience. Aeolus organises educational and career-oriented events such as company visits, study cases and guest lectures. Since EWEM is divided into four specialisations (Wind Physics, Rotor Design, Electric Power Systems and Offshore Engineering), topics of our guest lectures are also relevant for many other master studies. Aeolus believes that the exchange of ideas inside the sustainability community is important for driving energy innovation both on campus and beyond.

Vox Delft
Thinking is critical, don’t you think? Are humans better than ants? Should we be bored more? Should we let computers rule? You already open up, think differently, on your own, when you’re not asked to think along a neatly paved road. VOX Delft is simply a place where we do it together. Listen to and discuss democratically chosen subjects, from philosophy to technology and society, in an organic setting. Make peace with this planet sized social experiment always being a work in progress, and check our assumptions along the way! Whether you have opinions, questions, or just an open mind, come share and enjoy food for thought! Free in every sense of the word, join on any Tuesday at 7PM in the TU library.With a movie screening and discussion once a month!

Circular [email protected]/circulardelft
At Circular Delft, our goal is to inspire, inform and facilitate students in incorporating Circular Economy and Circular Design into their studies. To do so, we have developed an online platform: www.circulardelft.nl.On our platform, you can find everything from cool events to internship opportunities or an overview of the research being done on Circular Economies. Additionally, we organize activities for students to inspire and inform them about Circular. Basically, we’re the place to go if CE inspires you or even if you’re just curious as to what it is.
Centre for Sustainability
With 1500 inhabitants per square kilometre in Randstad (compared to 430 inhabitants per square kilometres in the whole of Netherlands), the urban agglomeration offers many challenges but also great potential concerning sustainability. The Centre for Sustainability is a joint multidisciplinary and open-innovation centre of Leiden University, Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University Rotterdam. With the focus on circular economy the centre assesses opportunities for the Centre for Sustainability aims to provide multidisciplinary cross university knowledge on the sustainable challenges, opportunities and solutions for resources and resource scarcity through fundamental and applied research.
